Question

which phrases could you use to describe a location? check all that apply. a. latitude is 86° north. b. in the winter, it is dark 24 hours a day. c. it is inside the arctic circle. d. the zip code is 99654.

Explanation:

• Option A: Latitude is a geographical coordinate that helps in determining the north - south position of a location on the Earth's surface. So, "Latitude is \(86^{\circ}\) north" can describe a location.
• Option B: "In the winter, it is dark 24 hours a day" describes a seasonal phenomenon (polar night) which is associated with a particular location (high - latitude regions). But it is more of a description of a seasonal condition rather than a direct locational description.
• Option C: "It is inside the Arctic Circle" is a geographical description. The Arctic Circle is a well - defined geographical boundary, and being inside it gives a sense of the location's position in the northern hemisphere.
• Option D: A zip code is a postal code used for mail delivery and is a way to identify a specific location within a country.

Answer:

A. Latitude is \(86^{\circ}\) north, C. It is inside the Arctic Circle, D. The zip code is 99654.
